  1. It certainly wasn't the team that pulled that big blunder to give up that goal. That being said,he did make some nice saves but thats what he's paid to do. Stop the friggin puck. His win loss record is terrible since he's been a Sabre and there's no disputing those numbers. You can blame the team or you can blame him but they are his numbers. When he goes to negotiate a new contract its those numbers that are discussed whether you believe the numbers are his fault or the teams.

     

    If you want to blame anyone, blame Regier. Lalime hasn't been good for a very long time. He probably should have retired years ago. But this team is the one keeping his career afloat. If I was Lalime, I'd be playing the games I get and counting my blessings that a team has a front office dumb enough to keep me around. Hell, OTTAWA didn't want him.

  2. Final minute, there was a faceoff in the Buffalo end. Gaustad skated over to Ellis and Ellis skated in to take the draw. But he appeared to deliberately get himself thrown out, bringing in Gaustad.

     

    Any theories on what that was all about?

     

    Who was Goose taking it against? He might have asked Ellis to see if he could get the other guy tossed too so that Goose could win it easier. Good idea if that much thought went into it.

  3. I know Rick likes his cold beverages -- I wonder if he's been sipping from the fountain of youth.

     

    He's shortened the "scoooooooore" call way up at home and gone back to his roots, as Eleven likes to say. "Theft of the century!" was spontaneous, out of nowhere and little kooky -- classic Jeanneret.

     

    It was perfect, I got chills.

  4. I don't want to be the guy to crap in the nachos right now, but the passing on this team is atrocious. Not just the selection (sometimes there isn't even a guy there), but being able to even collect a pass. It really is terrible.

     

    That is one thing I noticed tonight. A lot of players over-pursue the puck but these guys under-pursue. They seem to sit and wait for it to come to them instead of attacking it. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

  5. BTW, I don't hear a whole lot of noise from the Toronto crowd. Maybe it's all Buffalo folks who are in town for the doubleheader with the Bills tomorrow, though. Or maybe the Toronto folks ton't care. Or maybe, just maybe, the Buffalo crowd wasn't as bad as folks said (although it's justifiably quiet at the hisbitch now).
